Cottage on an acre on the Old Head

RICH pickings in the foreland? A plumly-positioned south Cork cottage not only has sandy and surf-friendly beaches nearby, it also has one of the country’s most exclusive (and inaccessible) golf courses as a near neighbour.

A new market arrival is this comfortable, well-kept old cottage on an acre at Ballymackean, Old Head, near Garrettstown, Kinsale.

The three-bedroomed property has an east-west aspect, with views towards Kinsale harbour, and the Sovereigns to the east.

Joint selling agents are Sheehy Brothers and Keane Mahony Smith, who say the site size and house’s position allow for easy extension, while the single-storey dwelling has an attached garage.

Asking price is €330,000, and it has oil heating, double glazing, hall, living room, and kitchen, plus three bedrooms and a bathroom, all with tiled floors. It is within a walk of Garrettstown.
